This is not an issue because the RTD feature uses a hybrid push and pull mechanism. This would be a problem if Excel relied purely on a push mechanism. The way RTD works is that the RTD server can tell Excel that it has updates as frequently as it wants (the push portion), but Excel doesn’t pull the new values from the RTD server until it is ready to handle them. Hence, the above-mentioned state will never occur.
